Solution is not clear (Question: 633225.0 )

Please provide the detailed solution.

Question:
A man sells his goods at 25% profit. Had he purchased if for Rs.900 less and sold it for Rs.900 less, then he would have gained 5% profit more. Find initial C.P.?
Options:
A) 5600 
B) 5500
C) 5400
D) 6000
Solution:

P → 25% = \(\cfrac{1 → P_1}{4 → C.P._1}\)

C.P.1  S.P.1

4x   5x

C.P.2 = 4x – 900

S.P.2 = 5x – 900

P = 5x – 900 - (4x – 900)

⇒ P = 5x – 900 – 4x + 900

= x

P = 30%

P% = \(\cfrac{P}{C.P.}\) × 100 ⇒ 30 = \(\cfrac{x}{4x – 900}\) × 100

x = Rs.1350

But C.P. = 4x

∴ 4x = 4 × 1350 = 5400
